How do I claim my Google Business Profile?

To update your business name and other info on Google, you must first verify your business. When you verify your business, you can check that your info is correct and that you’re the only one who can edit it.

Verify for the first time

Add or claim your Business Profile on Google. Learn how to claim your profile.
When you add or claim your profile, you can verify it through phone, text, email, or video.
- You may have to verify with more than one method.
- Available methods depend on business category, public info, region, support hours, and volumes.
Pick a type of verification. The verification methods are automatically determined and can’t be changed. Learn how to verify by your selected method.
Often, we must review verifications. These reviews help maintain the integrity of profiles. They can take up to 5 business days.
- When you’re verified, you get a notification.
- If we can’t verify your business with the first method, the “Get verified” button shows up again. If the button reappears, try a different verification method.
After you verify:
- It can take a few weeks for your updated business info to show across Google.
- You can update and add to your info at any time. Learn how to edit your profile.
- You can connect with customers through your profile. Learn about posts, reviews, and messaging.
